No, but you don't need to be a chicken to say that the egg has gone bad, and you don't need to be a brilliant politician to understand that the country is simply being brazenly plundered.
If you had paid more attention in history class, you would have noticed an interesting fact – Germany also had a revolution, after which democrats came to power. And after them, even the fascists, which, although not a revolution, was also a very sharp change in political course.
Parties change, but plans, if they are long-term and for the good of the country, are unlikely to change. It is unlikely that another party would prefer to miss out on a compliant puppet.
What? Am I right in understanding that you're saying that at the end of the tsarist rule, 5 million people lived there?
Going through all the tsars is too long. Off the top of my head, I remember that the number of death sentences in political cases under each tsar was, at worst, several thousand, with the exception of Nicholas II, Peter I, and Ivan the Terrible. But even there, it won't add up to that many, definitely not millions.
Furthermore, are the political figures who tried to change the country or pull it out of the mess through repression also bloody tyrants, without whom it would have been better? Where is the logic in blaming some and not thinking about others?
And Lordesat will tell you that under communism, few people could afford even a "Moskvich," but now many can afford a very decent foreign car.
What times, what morals... There is simply many times more hypocrisy now.
